Biopsies

I had a colonoscopy 1year ago they did 6 biopsies (all clear) my new consultant wanted biopsies on terminal ileum just had the 2nd colonoscopy and they took 19 biopsies is this normal

  1. 19?! The terminal ileum is a pretty small segment, it seems kind of excessive but maybe they want to make sure.
    Let us know how you get on.

    1. scopes aren't always the best thing for folks who are already inflamed or having issues...just sayin', google says it too!....My UC is in remission since 14' and friend I helped is in remission since 18'....NO DAILY MEDS! My entire bloodline has had IBD issues.


      tell me your stool specs....blood, mucous, pus, tar ?


      what do you eat, be specific, I need details..


      watch out for stress, it DEFINITELY will effect all vulnerabilities in the body!!!
